For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra microTALK

®

radios and

charger, and the component parts thereof, will be free of defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of first
consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer
purchaser, provided that the product is utilized within the U.S.A. 

Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective microTALK

®

radios, chargers, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra Factory
Service department, accompanied by proof of the date of first consumer
purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.

You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for
warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, 
if the product is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary from
state to state.

Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply:

1) To any product

damaged by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a
result of unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) If the serial number has been
altered, defaced, or removed; 4) If the owner of the product resides outside the
U.S.A.

All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this warranty. Cobra
shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages; including,

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts
and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
